Holy Moly...

First off, today is a happy day! Just found out that my very first DonorsChoose project just got funded in under 48 hours! This is one shocked and happy teacher! :)

In other news...tomorrow is the first day of school! I cannot believe it! Summer went by so quickly! I am clearly in a state of complete shock! Although, I cannot be too mad because the weather is cooling off and football season is gearing up. Bliss!

The last few days have been a fast and furious scramble to get everything ready for the big day. To my knowledge, everything is taken care of (schedules, lockers, health forms, course outline). I hope that when I wake up tomorrow, I still have this false sense of calm about me.
With all of that being said, I am really excited to see my new students. Summer Sizzle Fizzle was Saturday (registration). They kids for the most part were very excited to start the 6th grade. I can only hope that the enthusiasm carries over to tomorrow morning!

I did want to share a few pics of the room that I managed to remember to take this afternoon. Still missing one or two things, but it'll do for day one.

My desk area & the computer station

Decided to pair up the students for the first few days of school

Student supplies & paper turn-in boxes labeled by class period

"Hug" Your Heart jar
The smiley vase contains our Brain Break activities

Labeled crates on the back table to hold their interactive notebooks

Wishing everyone a great first day of school!
